This is some sort of race condition that a user pointed out to me a
couple of weeks ago.  Unplug the stick and plug it back in.  If you
see "xc5000: Device not found", then you've hit the bug.

You should also make sure the firmware is present.  After doing your
first tuning attempt you should see something along these lines in
dmesg:

firmware: requesting dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw
xc5000: firmware read 12401 bytes.
xc5000: firmware uploading...
xc5000: firmware upload complete...

If you don't see that last line, make sure you have
dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw in your firmware directory (typically
/lib/firmware)...
